PASTE-BOTTLE.

SPEFICATJION forming part of Letters Patent No. 650,302, dated May 22,1900.

Application filed February 8, 1900. y Serial No. 4,534. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE P. ORAGIN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Spokane, in the county of Spokane and State of Washington,have invented new and useful Improvements in Paste-Bottles, of which thefollowing isa specification.

My invention relates to that class of pastebottles which embrace acentral water-well designed to receive and keep in a moist condition thebrush to be used in the paste. It is designed more particularly as animprove-Y ment upon the bottle forming the subject- Vmatter of mycontemporary application led August 1l, 1899, Serial No. 726,897; and itconsists in the' peculiar and advantageous construction hereinafterdescribed, and particularly pointed out in the claims appended.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure'l is a diametrical section of myimproved bottle with the cover thereon and the brush in its properposition in the central well. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken inthe plane indicated by the broken line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is aperspective view of the brush removed. Fig. 4 is a similar view of thecover. Fig. 5 is a similar view of the pitcher which is designed to beplaced in the centralwell when the bottle is packed for shipment. Fig. 6is a detail diametrical section illustrating a modified construction ofbottle. Fig. 7 is a perspective section illustrating a modifiedconstruction of well-holder. Fig. 8 is a similar View of anothermodified construction of well-holder. Fig. 9 is a perspective View of acylinder, of metal or other suitable material, which when cut on thebroken lines and bent on the full lines indicated thereon produces twowell-holders such as shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 10 is a perspective view of awell,of metal, glass, 'or other suitable material, having a base-flangewhereby the paste in the bottle is enabled to hold it in proper positiontherein. Fig. 1l is a similar view of another well having lateral feetor extensions at its base for the same purpose as the flangeof the wellshown in Fig. 10.

Referring by letter to the said drawings, and more particularly toFigs.V l to 5 thereof; A is a bottlegwhich is preferablymade in onepiece ,of glass or other suitable material and is circular in form, asillustrated. This bot-3 tle is provided at its upper edge with exteriorscrew-threads a and at its bottom has a lateral oi'set b, the upper wallof which forms an abutment for a purpose presently pointed out.

of cheapness and lightness is preferably formed of thin glass, and C isthe well-holder.

The latter is formed in one piece of vulcanized rubber or otherresilient materlal and comprises a verticallydisposed socket c,

which is preferably slightly smaller in diameter than the well B, so asto enable it to tightly grip or embrace said well when the same isYinserted, and lateral extensions or feet d, which extend radially fromthe lower end of the socket,as best shown in Fig. 2. The socket c of theholder may be bottomless, as shown to enable it to take up paste fromthe`botton1A of the bottle A when said bottle is almost depleted ofpaste. The feet dof the holder are of the proportional lengthillustrated, and hence it will be seen that when the well-holder ispressed down into the bottle they will spring into the offset b thereofand assist in securing the socket c in the center of the bottle andagainst upward movement.A When desired,- the socket c of the holder Cmay have a thin bottom, as'shown in Fig. 7, in order to aord a cushionfor the bottom of the fragile waterwell, calculated to prevent breakageof the bottom of said water-well incident to pressure thereon.

D is the cover of the bottle, which is preferably of light sheet metaland is provided with a central aperture c and a threaded marginal ilangef. i

E is a brush for applying the paste, and F is an annular washer, ofrubber or othersuit- B is a central Water-Well-,which for the sake ablematerial, which is adapted, vwhen the v its middle wimmo4 enlargementsgri-,between which the'v annular washer is interposed and` held, asshown. The upper of these enlargements g is preferably tapered and oftheproportional size shown, while the'lower enlargement-h` is preferably ofasimilar size and i shape. l u Y. Byreason of the construction of thebushhandle as shown and described it .will be observed that when thebrush is placed in the 'water-well B with the washer F resting on theupper end of said Welland the cover D is moveddownwardlyon theupperportion ofthe brush-handle andscrewed on the bottle Ai the upperenlargement g of the handle will protrudethrough and snugly occupy thethe la "erture e, thus obviating the liability of paste-being depositedon the brush-handle,` an "thereby reaching the iin gers of the operatrwhen the brush-is used to apply paste.

brush being improperly placed in the waterwelhlso that its handle restsagainst one side thereof, the Wall of the aperture e will when ihec''veris moved down on the brushhan dle and 'screwed on the bottle serve, inconjunction with the tapered enlargement gf-of saidhandle, to center thebrush and cause the Hupper portion ofthe handle thereoihtoV extldvertically abovethe cover and the enlargement g to Ysnugly occupy theaperture e in'the coyen vIt will further be observed thatwhen applied inthe manner stated the cover and 'rubber washer exert pressure on theupper end of the water-well, and thereby assist in ,holding said well inits proper position and prevent the escape of water therefreni" nomatter how violently the bottle is shaken or' handled; The washer F onthe brush-handle is also advantageous, since in the event of the brushbeing laid down it prevents' the paste coming in contact with the'support o 'n which the brush isplac'ed.

efr (see Fig. 5) isa pitcher, or paper or other suitable light material.This pitcher is placed in the well Bat the time of shipment,- and whenthe bottleis to be placed in use 'is' designed to be removed and used tofill or partiallyll the well B with water.

VIn lieu of providing the bottle A'with an offset b, the upper wall ofwhich formsfan abutment for the engagement of the feet ofthe'well-holder C, I may provide it adjacent to"` its' bottom with oneor more (preferably fouiilribsor abutment-s b'. These ribs are arrangeda slight distance apart, so as to afford ways c' between them, and *whenthe holder C is placed in the bottle the ends'of its feet d are passedthrough ways, and the j Well BI.' l A well B therein, or the wells B B2are employed,

ho'lderis'thengiven apartia-l' turn' to secure vthe feet below the ribs:It follows from this that when the construction of bottle shown in Fig.6-is used the feet d ofthe bottle-holder need not bel resilient.VV i

In Fig. 8 of Athe drawings; I lhave shown a -modified*well-holden@jwhich` is made vof metal and comprises anannularsocket c2, designed toreceive the well B, inwardly-directed' portions c8 at the lower end 'ofthe socket designed to form a rest for the bottom of the well, andoutwardly-directed feet c4, designed te restl on the bottom of thebottle and enable Avthe paste therein to hold the holder against casualmovement.

Two holders C2 may be formed by'cutting a metallic cylinder,.s`ucli asshown in Fig. 9; on the broken lines'and bend-ing'the" inet-al on thefull lines displayed in said figure, and hence the Vholders may beproduced very cheaply.

In Fig. 'l0 I have illustrated a well B', which may be of glass, metal,or othersu'it'able material and is provided 'at its base with alateralf,W

I iange d2. The said flange is designed to rest on the bottom of thebottle, so as to enable the paste therein toV hold lthe wellag'ainstgcasual movement. Again, `it will be Seen that in the event of the InFig. 11 is shown a well B2, havinglateral feet or flanges d3 at itsbase, designedto serve the samepurposeas the base flange Pot the Whenvthe well-holder C, with the the abutments b Z7' ofthe paste-bottle mayobviously be dispensed with.

My improved paste-'bottle is used in the ordinary manner-that is to say,the cover normally rests over the bottle and the brush stands' in thewell containing witten-whereby Vitis kepts'oftand moist, asis desirable.Vlhenv it is desired to apply paste to any article, the cover is screwedon the bottle and removed from the brush and said brush is used in theordinary manner. Subsequent to using the IDO IOS

IIO

brush it is replaced in the water-well andthe cover is placed over thebrush-handleand screwed down on the bottle, when the bottle may betightlysealed and evaporationof the vpaste eifectnallyprevented.

It will be appreciated from the fjegoing that my improved paste-bottleis simple, coinpacr, and light., the latter being duefin Ylarge measureto the fact that the water-Well is formed separately f1 omthe bottleA,Aand. may therefore be formedof very light glass. "It will also beappreciatedffrom Vth'e foregoing that the paste in the' bottleoperates,`in conjunction with the interior abutments' thereof, to holdthe well-holderand the well' against casual movement.

Havingthus described my invention, what Iclaimis- Y l f l. Thecombination with apaste-bottle'having threads at its upper edge, and awell-in said b ottle; of a cover having threads adapted to engagethoseof thebottle and'also having an' aperture arranged to coincide with theWell, a brush having enlargements on its handle, the upper one of whichis tapered and adapted to protrude through and snugly occupy theaperture of the cover, and an annular washer surrounding thebrush-handle and interposed between the enlargements thereof; saidwasher being adapted to be compressed between the Well and cover,substantially as specified. f
